The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Rocky Mountain Bolters Roll Call?

Colorocky Springs.

Hello from Colorado Springs. I have a 1959 Chevy Apache.

Hello from the beautiful Flathead Valley in the heart of Northwest Montana! I've got a 1961 C10 that is my baby. Love it out here!

Colorado Springs - Free car show, August 11th at Brayla Weddings & Events located at 2165 Academy Pl., 9 am until 12 pm. Let's fill the parking lot with Stovebolts! I'm planning on bringing one out. Hope to see you there to chat about these classics.

Have a '60 ¾ ton (2wd) - I need a second set of eyes
on my truck - should I rebuild the existing 235 ?
Drop in a 350 with auto for daily driver ?
Drives ok, but need lower ratio axle - pretty sure 4.57.
... you know, the Eaton HO one.
If I change axle, could also change tranny/engine.
[ would keep 235 / 4spd and rebuild over time ]

Any volunteers ?
( in Wheat Ridge )

dbwr, you have many options with that truck.

I had a 66 GMC. It originally came with an inline 6. It also sported an LS6 454, a 400, a 350, a 305 and now a built 350. They all pretty much "bolt in", other than exhaust when going from the 6 or 454 to the SBC.

Glendale, AZ here with 2 1947 1/2ton ADs. One 3 window and one 5 window

Welcome 5/8's to our quiet corner of the "Bolt.

5/8 ton,

Hello from Gilbert AZ. Congratulations on owning 2, 47 3100's. Not very people have one.

Rugo

Rugo, I have not seen many 47 5 windows so I jumped at the chance to own it. No Vin tag, but I've searched long enough to know the quirks of a 47 over a 48.

By chance does anyone know where I might find a driver side rear fender?

I was fortunate enough, not to have to try to find body parts, when we moved down to this area. So, I don't have any sure fire places for you. However, I would sure think that you could find one at a wrecking yard, that specializes in vintage vehicles. Or, you can contact Joe Mendola "Mothertrucker". He is down in Tucson. He has about everything, parts related to AD trucks. His email is: mothertruckeraz@aol.com Those would be the two directions I would take, if I were you. Hope that it helps you out.

Just joined...Boise, ID. I’m privileged to have this site as my “go-to” My divorce cause was found in a storage facility in Donnelly ID- 1952, 5 window, 216 cu in.

Bwana-Jim, Welcome to the Stovebolt site. Congratulations on your find. There is a lot of really good information on this site. A great bunch of guys willing to help. Looking forward to your questions. Rugo

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good day to you all whenever you all get to check into Rocky Mountain Bolters (RMB). We are spread out pretty far from each other but also close enough that a day trip or a weekend getaway is possible. I travel across I10 and looking forward to exploring more north. If I happen to be in your neck of the woods/desert, I’ll reach out to ya and see if ya would be interested in a cup of joe and or a bite to eat.

I make it a point to reach out to family, friends and acquaintances on every trip I make now. I've been so close or had folks so close but not made the time to even make a grip n grin too many time.

I was in Sierra Vista the monday before thanksgiving for a day and a half. I'd like to move down there, but the altitude is too much for my wife. (she wants to move closer to sea level)

If you ever come as far as El Paso, I always have beer and food. Maybe we can attempt a get together somewhere. The Texas bolters are spread out as well. Having a hard time finding anyone close.

Chris

Chris,
I’ll be passing through El Paso some time this month so I’ll give you a heads up so the we can meet up for dinner or something. Texas is a big state and everyone is spread about but their out there. There’s a few Bolters in El Paso.

Bread

Sounds good! Just Give me a heads up!

Chris

Bread,

If you are ever going to be in the Gilbert area, let me know. Would like to meet a fellow Arizona bolter.

Rugo

Mr Rugo,
Your just out side of Phoenix which is a few hrs down the street, I can see us meeting up for a cup of coffee and getting to know the neighbors down the street, I’ll have to look at my calendar because we’re about to take a trip to TX and visit some family for the holidays.

Bread

Bread,

Have a safe trip to Texas. Enjoy the drive. Keep me posted, if you find yourself headed this way. Good to hear from you.

Welcome to the most quiet forum on the Stovebolt.

New Colorado member and new to the older GMC trucks, have had a couple GMC 2500HD's. Looking if there is anyone around my neck of the woods that has any resources for parts. Recently acquired a 1959 GMC 100 potentially a fleet option that has been sitting in Lochbuie for over 20 years.

Still have it?

Still have it?

Are you asking if I still have the 59?

New member from North Central Montana here.....just checking in.

Welcome to the quietest forum on the 'bolt.

Hello from Santa Fe, NM

Hello RmJr, welcome here.

Just got my 1951 5 window Chevy 3100 running! Sat for 18 years but now back on the road. Complete with new handmade Colorado blue stain pine bed. Got lots of leftover parts.

Congratulations, Snowman 51

Can you post a few pictures?

Post your parts for sale in the Swap Meet.

Congrats on getting the truck on the road. Ditto's on posting the parts only in the Swap Meet... some of us mod's get testy about that.

Thanks. Need help posting pics.

I haven't figured out the pix posting yet. But apparently, there are instructions at the top of each forum page? But don't quote me on that
